Fender Bender

Today I had my first of the above. I was hoping to make it to old age without being in a car accident, but no, Mr. Dodge Ram had to drive into my backside this evening.

Now the fun and games of claiming insurance begins.

Our Wedding Videography Idol

I sometimes wonder what Jason Magbanua would think if he knew a couple was watching his every move a few thousand miles away. Jason shoots weddings in the Philippines, and he has become our standard for event videography: one we strive to attain (we are far from it). Sometimes his music choice is somewhat cheesy, but the shots & editing remain beautiful and captivating. Here is one of his latest videos.

The Neighbours

The fact that it's February and the bachelors that live across from us still haven't taken down their christmas decorations leads me to believe that one of their girlfriends did the decorating, but that they have split up between then and now.

!Kooza

This weekend we had the privilege of going to see Cirque du Soleil's production Kooza. I remember seeing a promo for Cirque when I was about 14 in South Africa, and since that moment it had been a loose goal of mine to see them perform someday. Well, thanks to a very generous gift that "goal" was attained this weekend.

The entire production was incredibly well co-ordinated: from the sound, to lighting to the choice of music and costuming. I can't remember the last time I was so wowed by a performance.

Here are three videos highlighting Kooza. The trailer is poorer quality than I'd prefer, but I couldn't find a better one. The contortionist one is much better quality. The unicycle act was my favorite; I loved the french feel to it. And maybe it was my favorite because of the romantic aspect. enjoy!
